About this piece:
In this dream, I remember trying to watch the stars turn into rain in a crowd but every crowd member was a different version of myself. Every time I talked to someone else, I would talk back to myself as myself but in a different body. It felt like nothing was odd about it at all although we (I) did bicker about the umbrella not working.
